My Review - 5 Stars
Wow, just wow. I'm speechless and awestruck.
I've read a lot of books by this author, some I've loved more than others. This is definitely one of my favourites. It had everything, wonderful characters with real depth, plenty of angst, a dollop of steam and a some fantastic banter, all wrapped up in a story I didn't want to put down.
Going into the book I wasn't quite sure what to expect. At first it had quite a rom-com feel to it but as the story progressed we got more depth and emotion, along with a dollop of angst. The drama came in quite an unexpected form, I really wasn't expecting THAT to cause the issue.
I really liked both Juno and Cannon, I could really feel the chemistry between them and the connection they were forging. They both had less than stellar childhoods due to a lack of genuine love and care from their parents. As adults they have learnt to cope with this in different ways, in Juno's case it means building walls and keeping people out. There were some wonderful moments as Cannon 'toyed' with her to break down these barriers so she would let him in.
Cannon wasn't the arrogant movie god he first appeared and I really grew to love him, even when he was deliberately goading Juno. Despite a lot of sexual attraction the book is quite slow burn, though once the gloves (and the rest of their clothing) is off their is plenty of heated action to enjoy. I liked the role reversal of it being the woman who struggled to commit and the guy who was all in. Since this is written first person and from both POV's it was easy to connect to the H and h, as well as to believe in their emotions.
This is a fun but also full of feeling contemporary romance that I am only to happy to recommend. it is well written, the pace held my attention, the story flowed smoothly and it totally captured my heart.

Cannon Hunt checked
all the boxes to be a superstar.
He wasn’t supposed to check my box.

The silver screen is
my life, and this time, the director’s chair is mine.
So only serious actors need apply. I’m making a gritty war film, not a sappy romcom.

Cannon is the last
person I want to cast in my movie or my life.
His face is so perfect he could model...and he does.
His body is so cut he could be a Greek statue.
And his eyes? Don’t get me started on his dark, take-me-now eyes.

He’s the studio’s
pick for leading man.
I can’t escape him.
And I can never admit the truth: I don’t want to escape.

And I can never admit the truth: I don’t want to escape.
One touch could bring
down my entire career.
But when he finally whispers my name...
I can’t say no.
